Can a supremely lazy person attain the Divine?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"The Divine is not a destination to be reached through effort; it is the awareness that arises from simply witnessing your own being, whether in action or in stillness."
According to Osho, the Divine is not achieved by effort or blocked by laziness; it is realized through witnessing. Whether you are active or idle, use your present state as a platform to be aware. The Divine already abides within; sitting still and observing reveals it. Over-busyness hinders more than rest. So even a 'supremely lazy' person can awaken if he consciously watches his laziness.
Why this matters practically
- Removes guilt and fear around laziness by turning it into a doorway for meditation.
- Reduces frantic striving; encourages stillness and presence where insight appears.
- Offers a simple method: witness breath, thoughts, action or inaction in any moment.
